hello, I hope to have more time and spoons later this week and I’ll go more in depth haha
thank you for your quick reply! It’s nice to see creators who keep an eye on their projects. There were a few prompts I wanted clarification on (7 diamonds, 10 diamonds, 10 hearts, 8 clubs, 7 spades) but I’d have to re read the prompts to later to tell you what specifically I was confused about, these are just all the prompts I wrote in my notebook to ask about. (And I just finished a play through yesterday by the way :) I never knew if for wretched and alone games it played like jenga or not, I stack the blocks I pull on top and keep the top three layers out of touch though)
I got this in the No ICE bundle! But I was also looking at the wretched and alone jam haha, and it caught my eye.
I’m excited for that creator’s works, hats off to them!
TB made me recall something interesting… my uncle recently got hospitalized and apparently he may have gotten it in the past? I don’t know, I’ll have to ask again because I am curious. (They’re immigrants but I don’t know if they got the vaccine here/when they did). Anyway, I think the way oppressions intersect is why I love the term kyriarchy so much haha. But I’m sure your experience was still rough and I am very grateful you shared with us.
Being unhealthy or ill is not a moral failing, god. It runs along the same line as beauty does not equate goodness. Also, Dr. Oz is still kicking? And in politics? Jesus that quack was bad enough before.
By the way, I thought an interesting addition to diseases would be hypertension and/or chronic kidney disease(possibly as a result of hypertension), seeing how most adults in the US deal with high blood pressure.
There are some interesting articles I will try to find the link to. One of them is the prevalence of Hep B in the Asian American community, especially among recent immigrants. Focus specifically on China for this though, I was watching this on the Chinese news network in the US lol; it was a Stanford doctor and son duo so that should limit results.
Health standards were not as high back then in China, sharing needles limited medicine; although I know countries like the Philippines are marked as TB risk (iirc) I don’t think people realize how poor China was and how quickly it rose, so it comes as a surprise to hear about living conditions and how poor they were from people only around 50-60 years old. Most Chinese immigrants nowadays tend to be older too. Anyway, they may have gotten exposed to Hep B and if untreated it can turn into cancer. With language barriers lack of funds finances etc there have been many cases of people coming in too late. That’s the funny thing about ‘preventable’ diseases, it can range from ‘carelessness’ (although no one should get cancer) to compounding factors that serve as barriers to marginalized groups (equality vs equity, etc).
That was a bit of a ramble, haha. I hope that’s ok.
